Warnings
The company's reported profits differ from official accounting profits by 1277%. Check what costs are being left out of the adjusted number.
The company pays out 897% of its profits as dividends. That leaves little cushion — the dividend could be cut if business slows down.
Wall Street's average price target is $148.60 (from 23 analysts). Our estimate is 30% below the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.
Key Risks
- Growth DCF inappropriate — terminal value assumptions dominate
- EV/EBITDA misleading for regulated businesses where capex is mandated
- Regulatory risk is a fat tail not visible in normal multiples
